Unfortunately the problem with a system that I'm bootstrapping by killing my own hourly rate is that I don't have enough income to pay anyone else a reasonable wage to help. And I'm not enthused about doing it any other way.
Before HF20 I really thought that I could put together a pitch package and have some chance to secure some angel funding. The next thing was going to be really cool, and The Mesopotamians is a good proof-of-work project.
But I can't justify asking anyone else for their money to put here at this point.
